I have a 12’ by 12 ft coop for the twenty hens. On the back wall I have five nests. Over those five nests is a shelf with several inches of cat litter. Their roost is spread out 5 inches above and wall to wall along that shelf(they poop a lot while roosting). The eight inches of wood shavings on the floor take care of their daytime business.
Thanks, I have just never heard of using cat litter- do you use a certain kind? Seems there would be an issue with some kinds if they ate it.
